A MIPS SoC for a 4.0 to $ 99 Android Tablet

LA tablette Novo7 et son SoC à architecture MIPS


Ingenic Semiconductor has launched in the Chinese market Novo7, a touchscreen tablet running Android 4.0 and displayed at a rather competitive price: 99 $.


With a touch screen capacitive multi-touch of 7 inches in diagonal, this Novo7 the particularity to embark a SoC MIPS32 architecture instead of classic SoC ARM of the other shelves. Designed by Ingenic Semiconductor, in question - called JZ4770 - SoC integrates therefore processor MIPS XBurst running at 1 GHz, and a GPU Living GC860 quick-444 MHz and able to decode streams 1080p video. This chip is particularly energy efficient because the single CPU (with its L1 cache) consumes less than 90 mW, the consumption of the entire SoC not exceeding 250 mW.


Other features of this tablet are more traditional. There is in particular a WiFi 802 .11n ready controller, a USB 2.0 port, HDMI 1.3 output, a microSD port, webcam 0, 3MPixels, a photo 2 Mpixel sensor and various sensors. The battery allows it 7 hours surfing, up to 6 hours in game and up to 25 hours of audio playback. So question is if this very low tariff does not hide anything, at the finish for example…
